| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A nucleotide that occurs in muscle tissue, and is used as a source of energy in cellular reactions, and in the synthesis of nucleic acids. | adenosine triphosphate (ATP) |
| An organism which requires an external supply of energy in the form of food as it cannot synthesize its own. | heterotroph |
| Any organism that can synthesize its food from inorganic substances, using heat or light as a source of energy. | autotroph |
| The process by which plants and other photoautotrophs generate carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water, and light energy in chloroplasts. | photosynthesis |
| Any color in plant or animal cells. | pigment |
| Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria. | chlorophyll |
| a folded membrane within plant chloroplasts from which grana are made, used in photosynthesis. | thylakoid |
| the tissue structure of an organ, etc., that serves to support it. | stroma |
| Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate | NADP+ |
| The 'light-dependent reactions', or light reactions, are the first stage of photosynthesis, the process by which plants capture and store energy from sunlight. In this process, light energy is converted into chemical energy | light-dependent reactions |
| The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. | light-independant reactions |
| Either of two biochemical systems, active in chloroplasts, that are part of photosynthesis. | photosystem |
| An electron transport chain (ETC) couples electron transfer between an electron donor (such as NADH) and an electron acceptor (such as O2) with the transfer of H+ ions (protons) across a membrane. | electron transport chain |
| important enzyme that provides energy for the cell to use through the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). | ATP synthase |
| The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical redox reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms. It is also known as the dark reactions | Calvin cylce |
